JSONDecodeError：期望值：第1行第1列（字符0）。 使用bing搜索时出错

Question

I have a simple script to get urls from bing search.

import bingsearch

bingsearch.API_KEY='mykey'

r = bingsearch.request("JohnDalton")
print r.status_code

print r[0]['Url']

The bingsearch.py file is:

import requests
import urllib2

URL = "https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/SearchWeb/Web?Query='%(query)s'&$top=50&$format=json"
API_KEY = 'mykey'
def request(query, **params):
    r = requests.get(URL % {'query': query}, auth=('', API_KEY))
    return r.json()['d']['results']

How do i avoid the error mentioned before. Thanks.

Answer 1

It's an auth problem, you are not getting any results so nothing to decode.

this might be the error it gets: The authorization type you provided is not supported. Only Basic and OAuth are supported 401

I think in auth dictionary

r = requests.get(URL % {'query': query}, auth=('', API_KEY))

you should pass username as well instead of empty string.

Edit:

Looks like username and passwd both are identical for azure api. Try passing

r = requests.get(URL % {'query': query}, auth=(API_KEY, API_KEY))

Edit2:

Ok whats the output of this

import requests

URL = "https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Data.ashx/Bing/SearchWeb/Web?Query='%(query)s'&$top=50&$format=json"
API_KEY = 'mykey'
def request(query, **params):
    r = requests.get(URL % {'query': query}, auth=('', API_KEY))
    print r.content, r.status_code
    return r.json()['d']['results']


r = request("JohnDalton")
print r.status_code

print r[0]['Url']
